classicthesis | Accented Characters

Post by mble »

Hello,
I´ve just started to write m PhD thesis with classic thesis LyX version 4.0
In configuration file: classicthesis-config.tex there is a fragment:

Code: Select all

 
% 2. Personal data and user ad-hoc commands

\newcommand{\myTitle}{A Classic Thesis Style\xspace}
\newcommand{\mySubtitle}{An Homage to The Elements of Typographic Style\xspace}
\newcommand{\myDegree}{Doktor-Ingenieur (Dr.-Ing.)\xspace}
\newcommand{\myName}{Andr\'e Miede\xspace}
\newcommand{\myProf}{Put name here\xspace}
\newcommand{\myOtherProf}{Put name here\xspace}
\newcommand{\mySupervisor}{Put name here\xspace}
\newcommand{\myFaculty}{Put data here\xspace}
\newcommand{\myDepartment}{Put data here\xspace}
\newcommand{\myUni}{Put data here\xspace}
\newcommand{\myLocation}{Darmstadt\xspace}
\newcommand{\myTime}{December 2011\xspace}
\newcommand{\myVersion}{version 4.0\xspace}
Andr\'e Miede gives André Miede. Could You please help me and try to answer question: how is possible to use here another symbols e.g german or polish like ü or ł.

Thank You in advance,
Michal

classicthesis | Accented Characters

Post by kaiserkarl13 »

There are lists of LaTeX accents in, for example, the »A (not so) short Introduction to LaTeX2e«, which is the first item on the Resources for Beginners forum post.

For example, \"u gives a »ü« as an umlaut, and \l gives the Polish »ł«. There's also \o (as in Brønsted), \AA (as in Ångström), \c c (as in façade) etc. There are also dotless i and j characters for some of those pesky accents that would interfere with the dot if it were present (compare \u\i to \u i, for example).
